a with with, with breaking news on on t. v. crane, self proclaimed republic thought a mass evacuation of civilian russia saying people's lives all at risk. if you do find an army shunning the 1st bosses have already cross the border in the meantime a vehicle explodes in central don't ask outside the local government building. all correspondence is that the same as president food and accused of ukraine of flaming tensions with logan's regions. and endangering civilians if there are mal issues of human rights in your brain or what you, what can has to do with down at the negotiating table with represented of the don

basket. unfortunately, we are now seeing an escalation of the situation in the russian. foreign minister says western a propaganda in full flames of an impending attack on you, crying. i'm merely and a time frame. moscow as an aggressor, he spoke exclusively to r t. a old vicious propaganda take some pictures, but the main thing is that the authors, if these fakes themselves believe in what they say. if russia withdraws it's true, the correct will not disappear. the bricks for the future are already being late with lot for most are just going to midnight here in the russian capital. thanks for joining us. an international and daniel hawkins that we thought with a breaking news here on our team international more than a few boxes carrying civilians from east and ukraine of crossing to russia as part of a massive occupation effort. those vehicles are carrying more than 1500 people fleeing

the self proclaimed finance can look on republics. sovereigns have been blaring since the afternoon in those regions with local leaders. reporting shall fire from the crank and army. awe. on friday afternoon school children were taken out of class in donia can transported to safety. reasons leader says, residential areas have been hastened bombardment by ukraine's military officials of acute t of avant eating a peace agreement in place since 2014 the week before you. similar to that, but you will, molly, for when you where to, where you live, a line of cars is now filling up the roads, heading out of financing towards russia for now that was just women, children and the elderly young men and being told to stay behind the head of the

self proclaimed, but as for public says here was thought a full scale. invasion of the don't boss at any moment. now off for a few hours a few hours ago, rather a car exploded in central. don't ask outside the local government building and custody of reports from the sing. all the evacuation that had indeed begun here and jeanette scans, logan scanned people are lining up at various evacuation points to go to a safe place in russia. but before i get to that, i wanted to talk about where i am right now. i'm next to the city administration building in the nest, where a terrorist actor will local administration has gone. it had occurred at around 7 15 pm. this friday i was actually about a couple of 100 meters away from where this took place. if you can see behind me, there is a vehicle where an explosive device said detonated the vehicle,

belonged to the chief of the people's militia of the self proclaimed an escrow public. there were no victims, as the car was empty at the time. and right now the army engineers had already concluded to their work here, and they haven't found any more explosive devices. but the sound from the blast was heard throughout. the city can probably sell the power of this explosion because the vehicle is completely destroyed earlier. our engineers were working here with bomb sniffing dogs, but thankfully, nothing was found to remind you, the building where the administration of the city of the ask is located is right in the center of the city. and it is a friday night. and this area is usually frequented by a lot of a local residents who come out here on a friday night to enjoy their time. thankfully, there were no people around here at that time, and there were no victims well,

apart from this scar. now, earlier, indeed, the head of the dentist peoples republic announced a evacuation of women and children and the elderly. he said the president of ukraine, vladimir lensky, is old barth. to give an order to the troops that on a mass along the conflict line to go on an offensive. and he said, in order to prevent the loss of life, people should be evacuated to russia at the nearest neighboring a region of forest, off with whom he had already made the arrangements where a shelter and food and all the necessities will be provided. let's take a listen to what denise. pushing in the head of the dentist republic had said earlier, for the appeal or what i think you're gonna fill on the quote that what if when the enemy shells the populated areas of the town? yes. republic was the life and house of our citizens is endangered. it was so from today, mass transportation of civilians to russia has been organized,

live for one. the 1st of all, women, children and the elderly ought to be evacuated. what should it, what was a little bit so right after dennis bushel in his ha, ha, counterpart in elegance, people's a republic earlier need positioning also announced an evacuation of look, ask people to a russia, but he also called on all the men who can carry arms to stay behind and protect their a mother and for the rest, he says it's better for her to go on a temporary evacuation it to a russia. once again, it's not a mandatory, but it's advised to leave for the self proclaimed republic. so for now to stay in safety in russia, where all the necessities will be provided to people now a little bit earlier on friday of let him here put in a in moscow, said that the kremlin is also observing the escalation here in don barza. and he

called on all sides of the conflict to try to start a dialogue and soon solve this conflict with a negotiation, a solid and load in all a loss of life. now we've been indeed working here in don boss for quite some time . now actually they come in here for 8 years as the company began in 2014. and the situation had really intensified over the past week or so. it has been really loud along the front line. a lot of artillery shelling a lot of explosions, a lot of damage to civilian infrastructure. a couple of people were civilians were wounded as well. now the o. c, monitoring michigan who are also here and, and as scanned in logan's, they're here in force. i was at their base a little bit earlier, all the vehicles i seem to be in place. looks like none are on patrol, but we are hoping to hear from them their evaluations very soon earlier. they did

say that they are also reporting an escalation along the front line. now from what i understand concerning the evacuation of 1st civilians from the next can legacy the major part of it, i will take place on saturday as the information campaign regarding the evacuation is still taking place. and of course, that we will be here to report it for you. as it happens, ukraine has denied its attacking the dumbass saying it has no plans to retake the breakaway regions through when it remains one government minister call the ongoing panic, a russian provocation. ocarina in the year, ukraine is not an enemy to peaceful people in the temporarily occupied territory. our enemy is the russian occupier. so we see the russian occupiers escalating the situation, making up information as a pretext to spread panic and cause an evacuation. all this coming with informational support from the russian media disinformation, which of course there is alarm and panic. we understand that russia's main goal to

law. they came. the escalation on ethan ukraine comes away to western claims of an impending russian invasion. russia's foreign minister gave an exclusive interview with r t, saying those allegations are entirely false. yeah, with the all, this is propaganda fake some fiction. but the main thing is that the authors of these fakes themselves believe in what they say. so if it's pleasant for them, why not? but of course, all this causes a smile. no, i don't spirit predict ones in the cells every day. at the same time, the native secretary general state, they have no information about an absolute probability of an attack for hand at the same time because the foreign office also declared that no matter what happened, we must be on guard. if russia withdraws, it's true. the threat will not disappear. go the brits for the future already being late, the topic is being habit forever and ever. no political. the leaders of russia and batteries have both voiced alarm over ukraine's

a para attempts to escalate the situation in the dawn bus. they gave a joint press conference here in moscow on friday afternoon. aussies sky taylor has the details. alex onto lucas sanker, just the latest head of state to make a flying visit to moscow. quite literally we did see his helicopter taken off from the kremlin that just behind me all to those 2 and a half hour talks wrapped up. now he had brought him a putin did in fact meet recently only in december. but friday's meeting comes in a much tense context, and that is because the historic friendship between minsk and moscow has come on to increasingly scrutiny. since the 2 countries are currently holding joint military drills. cool. i like to resolve 2022. on fact, before the talks that got started, they hugged they shook hands and they agreed that most likely on saturday, both of them together would actually actually participate in those wargames and announcement that i'm sure will send western media into an absolute tis eve. now

the west has viewed these training drills as very hostile. these are the ukraine, that is despite, of course that being foreign representatives are not to shades on the ground to absorb them. and despite the credit and consistently saying that they will most likely wrap up on sunday with equipment being shifted out very soon afterwards, both president and the press conference said that unfortunately, these wardrobes have become not just crucial but almost necessary in light of what they describe as nato pumping weapons into ukraine now on the issue of ukraine, the 2 liters were very much on the same page. sharing that concern about the military alliance is increasing expansion eastwood. president putin especially talked about the ongoing deliberations. he has, of course, trying to get legally binding agreements in response to the security proposals put forward by russia. that would, for example, see the us to withdraw. it's 65000. so troops from central and eastern europe and

to see the removal or least reduction of certain types of missiles on the continent . however, it seems that there are still some major sticking points to show you the addition of the us and other nato members. so for show, no desire to adequately address the core elements of our initiative, we are willing to engage in negotiations. these issues are considered together as one complex without separating them from the main ration proposals, which are a priority for us. another important moment related to concerns raised by the kid failing to fulfill its obligations on the agreement. just to remind does that is a 13 point document signed in 2015 to help and the conflicts in easton ukraine president who made special mention of how lou ganske, anton. yet the regions are yet to be awarded the special state to which they were promising under the protocols. and how to this day, we are still witnessing discrimination against the russian speaking population on

the ukraine in general. in fact, what we heard was lamenting how the situation on the ground. it's only 2 carriers. they fill in no great mass violations of human rights. and what camp has to do is sit down at the negotiating table with representatives of the don bass and agree on political military. you can amik and humanitarian measures to end the conforming sooner the better. unfortunately, we are now seeing an escalation of the situation in the darkness. while these very serious and concrete concerns are being raised 5 minutes and moscow. what are we hearing from the west? a promise you consider a recognition of the serious issues. know what we're seeing is a continuation of the hysteria and a session with promising that war is just around the corner despite of course, although the prophecies of the russian invasion of ukraine on the 15th of february, on the 16th of february, proving to be false. our information indicates clearly that these forces are preparing to launch an attack against ukraine in the coming days. we don't know

exactly the formal take. it could be a fabricated so called terrorist bombing inside russia, or a fake even a real attack using chemical weapons whom moscow though all this pointing the finger at russia, is simply a deflection and a willful ignorance of the reality on the ground. the delivery admits this attempts to place the blame on russia are futile and baseless. i must say that we are very disappointed by the ostrich like position of our western colleagues who are trying not to see obvious thing role. we've also briefly raised a few what favorite new foreign policy told i'm talking about real sanctions now here both me to said that they will not only illegitimate, but they have also turned out to be fruitless. since both countries have developed always the fortress economies with immunity, you could say to gutter, the better option had a state leg did out the if the you and the us. what when posed for any thought that we cannot make penalties, and that would be a merit response. but also yes,

as you would expect. humble, the agenda and today's conversation and press conference was ukraine and the increasingly hostile and aggressive rhetoric on foreign policy coming out from the west. it would be remiss if i didn't say that there was some positive moment. that's of course, not forget that russia and brought a russia to countries who are tied together historically culturally, but also economically too. so that will always be areas where they can deepen that relationship not was something that both leaders made a commitment to today. earlier this week for you, a secretary of state anthony berlington claimed russia was planning a chemical attack in ukraine, either real fight as a pretext for invasion. president boynton repeated his claim that an invasion will happen in the next several days. and while anonymous us intelligence officials have been quoted in the washington post the saying, the russian pull back from the cranium border is just the roof to deceive the worst . we heard from current gitovski, a retired us air force that senate channel. she said,

some people in government have a vested interest in stirring the crisis. we just don't have any evidence to support what the state department and what joe biden is saying. he is, he is treating germany and, and the ukrainian, the leadership very arrogantly very authoritarian. you know, as an authoritarian telling them what they should do, what they will do, what they will submit to at the same time we're carrying on both sides of the conversation, what us will do, what you will do, and what russia will do. the u. s. is doing this all by itself. you know, the defense department has is put forth its budget request. they want to $800000000.00 to operate. and this is during a time of peace in a, in a time of economic crisis for the united states in terms of inflation in the, you know, the global response to cove it in order to justify their funding. what, you know, people have to be reminded as to why we have a defense department and, you know, proposing,

conjuring up little worse in different places. and certainly even the threat of world war 3, which has not gone on mentioned. i mean, you know, this is a serious kind of a risk, and i think it helps a justify their budget position. what americans don't see, and what the western media, at least on the american side, doesn't recognize, is of the geography of the situation. and in fact, most americans don't even understand the geography of our european allies. so that gives the, the government, the u. s. government, a lot of leeway to create stories that won't be challenged by your average american listener. and certainly, it stokes up feared it almost is a legitimate game, you know, as a fantasy, it is not. we're not seeing, we're not seeing things that make sense here. and again, i'm sure this, if you know how you gonna, how do we understand this? i think you have to understand america's aggression. here is a political enterprise, and it is heavily based on what's going on in the united states domestically and

also the u. s. position visa v. it's near peer competitors, china, primarily in russia. second year, several western countries have started pulling their stuff out of a monitoring michelle ukraine that run by the organization for security and cooperation in europe. that's apparently down to safety fears. meanwhile, russia has said it will not be taking part in another meeting on the conflict. cool . why? key of the head of moscow is delegation to that. i see explained that decision ukrainian, the requested according to these meetings and the consultation according to the vienna document, or 16. no saying that is unusual meal, directv would have normal plan, usual military exercises this bella, russia union. the result 22 were announced it in this in january. we are now sit here in vienna. they don't want to listen to us. and if we

see a scenario orchestrated by us and britain, the joint and ukrainian is to put a dexter to dry out that there are allegedly be invaded. this is successes, they have these aims. that's why we explained that. we cannot use of yen a document in this situation. it's an appropriate and we are not there. we can't participate in discussion it, sir. kind of, we're media not only media, it's so official, a representative of this is obsessive lunacy, explaining everything they don't want to listen to us. we tried to make it, but it's useless this way. russia didn't participate. ah, a canadian police have tried to break up a protest camp in the country's capital and arrested several truck drivers demonstrating against the cobra vaccine mandate. we saw more back for buses with

hard load all the, all the blue. we saw 6 buses. line up, get ready for morning. there's over a $150.00 plus police. cars are prisoner transport wagons. there's 6 buses getting ready to load guys up, build up symbolizes unlawful operations, unlawful orders, because this is not an emergency actor. now this is not in place that has capacity to do more levels in parliament. they cannot act on that. they are acting unlawfully. and aaron, being under my lawful orders, processes resisting arrest for 4th 22nd away by officer. several pinned to the ground before being hunk of flesh one was proceed. bama who was taken away in a police vehicle. the inter mall to police chief earlier in the protest is, were not peaceful on the crackdown was imminent. we've been bolstering our resources, developing clear plans and preparing to take action. the action is in imminent. in

the past few days we've been communicating directly with the unlawful protestors. we've told them they must leave and we have warned them the consequences of disobeying these rules. we will never stop trying to get people to leave our streets. that's exactly what we want them to do. just know that there is a deliberate plan. there's commitment and there's the resources that we now have in place to actually finally end this. well, the motion is act, so that is now in the force. enforce allows the government to ban the rallies and suspend projects as bank accounts for up to 30 days. it's supposed to be invoked only if there is a national crisis. authorities are also cracking down on percent within their ranks . with an ontario, government aid losing a job officer was discovered. she donated a $100.00 to the movement. opposition law makers say the prime minister is acting like a dictator. people lost their wages. citizens were harassing the potential for violence group and the federal government instead of acting,

argued over jurisdiction. canadians can't be expected to simply take this prime minister at his word. those kids plans are not consistent with fundamental freedoms . the government should not have the power to close the bank accounts to canadians on a whim. the poacher says are continuing to make their presence felt in order to work from an institute. alex uses them of threats, violence, and hatred, and waiting, waiting flags. now canadian banks have started freezing accounts linked to actually with a freedom callaway organizer in winnipeg. so the government's actions go against democracy. it's very disturbing to see where the federal government has taking this and you know, and bulky and emergency act for simply having the hundreds of thousands of people peacefully protesting in this country is the exact opposite of what a democracy should look like. with our movement showing a prime example of how a free democracy should work and to be able to practice the right,

the peaceful protests when it comes to not be in democratic lee. correct. i think that are, are, are federal government is, is showing a prime example of that. they're, that they're, they've denied so many of our rates for last couple years. and now that the people have taken action and seeing enough enough, because because our provincial and federal leaders, you know, they wouldn't stand with the people over the past couple of years. now that you know, we're practicing our, our race a piece of protest. that's the one last freedom that we feel we have left in this country and now even not to be stripped away from us. so it's very concerning. and a very disturbing figure skater kelly committed leave has been given a hero's welcome. when i return to moscow from the winter olympics in beijing, crowd of support is gathered degree through at the airport. in 15 year old had a small face relief for many of the many precious you've been on the leave was one

to regard it as the world's most talented figure skater. showing that the linux was overshadowed by a dosing scandal she missed out on gold offered trouble. final performance in walla corporation for sport has criticized the way antidote agencies have handled the situation. they said the long delay in releasing a fail drugs us was damaging for the athletes and other competitors. this has been the results of the relevance unsaid, open bodies failing to ensure that pending cases are resolved before the olympic winter games commence. had that all been accomplished on time and in conformity with the time limits recommended by water. then a decision on the merits of miss believe us case and her status could have been made well before the game started and before her competition experienced. and that of other athletes was affected adversely. how does the caea statement fit in with that disappointment last night when the lever went from favorite to 4th, the pressure must have been immense. we'll have to tell you that last night broke

many hearts not just knows, openly rooting for, believe obviously in russia and everywhere across the world. first of all, costs did say that now the now broke, the positive broke, which came back with allegedly a doping test. and a positive dog dog test of global eva that itself, the procedure took too long and basically gave no chance for while you were to mount any kind of defense. it came not in the middle of the olympics on february 8th, despite the probe was taken on december 20 fit in russia. so it'll be questions as to how white this and it took so long. secondly, and that is a very important statement by cost that athletes should not be subject to the risk of serious harm caused by anti doping authorities. failure to function effectively at a high level of performance. and this is basically exactly what happens to believe if you consider her performance last night. this is a very serious harm, especially when it comes to where psychological state and also let's not forget

that our cost is not ruling out. that all this may have been a technical mistake. there is a probability that the onsite up in the boardroom might have made a technical mistake, which is compatible with the extreme of low concentration in the sample. this is why the athlete will request the analysis of the be sample the since this broke, a lot of people have been projecting what kind of pressure this 15 year old girl might be under. i'm not the sympathy on the timelines to tony. she knows how she fails, trying to perform the top of her game at a winter olympics. and yet facing all this pressure, she said anything about what she's going through. well, surprising you. she seemed comma that and those who actually won the metals last night. so she didn't really have any comments to make, but listen for a week or even more than that of oliver was heavily lambasted by some of the mainstream media, especially in the west. there were people who were calling for her to be dismissed from the olympics. there are people who are calling on the inside a russian team or the r o c team to be sent home immediately and not compete in the

next several olympics. all this pressure by the media has been absolutely severe, and i dare to say disgusting at times, considering the fact that nothing yet has been proven. it's almost set in stone down that a believer will open her b sample. once she comes back to moscow and she's on her way to moscow now, so this story will drag on, of course, but without any concrete evidence of wrongdoing. all those media outlets, all those journalists, seems to have forgotten completely about the presumption of innocence and the result of that, or part of the result of that we saw last night with that performance. probably the worse performance by believer, which caused or an olympic metal. what about olympic chief selection that this is reflect on them because they were supposed to be putting on a big show. instead, they've had this canoe blight battle to try and keep the route away from what should be a global sporting showcase over the past couple of weeks will, i will not lie. this issue has poisoned to the olympic games massively here for the last 10 days. or most of the journalists here, we're not even talking about the metals one by athletes. they were talking only

about vall, eva, all those endless life hits outside the media. a center not about winning gold, but about the doping allegations. clearly that has huge mark to play on the games. and you know what the i o. c president almost bach was. beth stood with questions on friday morning, had been begging during a press conference. it lasted an hour, the entire hour was dedicated to believe, just to prove the case of the book to prove my early a boy. and thomas back basically deflected all the questions. there was even a question about whether he felt volleyball was bullied by some members of the western press. and he said that we should rather talk about doping allegations than that. he was also asked about why he decided to meet with the japanese and the u. s . ice figure skating teams and not the russian team. he deflected that as well. so there are questions lingering among many here about the quality of management of this situation by thomas back in the officials. this is not gonna be the end of it . it's going to drag on even after we've had the closing ceremony. what can we expect next on that?

the biggest question right now probably upon from valley was fate. of course it is the fate of the t metal team, a gold metal that's russia. figure skating team one almost 2 weeks ago. now, the award ceremony has not been held ios. you promised that once the case is resolved, i, it will be held appropriately at a different place, different time. obviously, that is the biggest question right now. of course, there's no question about it that will leave a will go to open her be sample. ah, it may have been an accident as been confirmed by cas and i only have to wonder why the all those people criticizing and ambassador her all throughout will apologize when i have no question about it. when volley was found innocent in any kind of wrongdoing, but of course i'll be keeping you updated on everything happening with it. go back to our top story. nissan ukraine. a powerful explosion and little guns has lit up the night sky. a gas pipeline is understood to be on fire emotions. he worked his or at the scene. that's lou mation

a we do have for now. we'll bring him all as it comes in. those are headlines, fuller, so a pro full coming away in a few moments time or that even i all back in half an hour with the very latest follow up stories. so in a 2nd that ah, i was pretty shocked by this. really. i mean, i knew that dollar was vulnerable and i knew the dollar was in trouble, but i didn't know the us dollar wasn't this much trouble. that country like el salvador, as you point out, it's a $3540000000000.00 economy by them making big coin legal tender. what the senators are suggesting is that it threatens the entire us world reserve currency. the dollar of the us dollar had gemini ah.
